I agree 100%, you saved me a lot of typing JoannaK!!!
IMHO this lawsuit should have been initiated years ago.. It's been about 4 years since AmigaInc did pay Hyperion for OS4, and since then they have been waiting for Hyperion to deliver. I am not saying that AmigaInc has been innocent during these years, they have definitely done their best of confusing things up and driving people away.. But this OS4 issue is between those companies and Hyperion ain't been keeping their end of bargain.
Let's face it. Hyperion did jump into this OS4 making quite willingly. They accepted their payment and announced their own timetable. If they can't make OS in the time *they* agreed, it's their fault. And if they have agreed to give it to AmigaInc on measily 25K usd then it's their agreement and they should honor it. And yes, it's Hyperion's fault if they can't keep their subcontractors on shedule and operate according their agreement with AmigaInc.
So.. as it seems to be that Hyperion ain't able(or willing) to do their part voluntarely (and paid) it's quite obvious this kind of action was eventually needed. I don't feel mush sympathy on either side, they have made their own beds and chosen their business partners so they are definitely reaping what they sow.
